I've been pretty satisfied with #OpenSUSE since I started to use it somewhere in the latter part of last year :-) Some UI workflows are not as off-the-shelf polished as in #Ubuntu but payback comes from mostly relying in the common sense standard compliant solutions and not trying to hack features "not yet possible". And when comparing to other rolling release distributions I find it nice that you get the latest shit but mostly as binary packages so update times are always fast.

I.e. how features are engineered feels very "German" in the good sense of the word. Sometimes ugly but always useful and made to last :-)

I tried Arch Linux first for some time when looking at to what switch from Ubuntu (which I used since 2004 to last year) and I think it is really good! I still use it for more complex test VM's (when needing something more like a distribution than BuildRoot). The reason for ending up with OpenSUSE was the binary packaging part that I mentioned.
